Last week we asked you if Penn State should be worried about their No. 3 BCS ranking. That question seems silly after their 24-23 loss to Iowa. Nevertheless, only 11% of you out there voted "Yes, the Southern-biased media will prop up their own teams." Among that 11% must have 84LionEh who commented after the Iowa game: (Bob Griese's)...

ESPN.com writer Ivan Maisel's book "The Maisel Report: College Football's Most Overrated & Underrated" might instead carry the subtitle "Why the SEC and Southern Football Is Underrated and Why Northern Football (Big Ten, Big East and Notre Dame) Is Overrated and Has Become Old and Irrelevant." Granted, that might not sell as many copies. Too wordy. But the theme... Full story »

David Blain, a Lower Paxton Twp. supervisor and certified public accountant, engaged in "improper accounting practices" in his job from 2000 to 2003, according to files from the Securities and Exchange Commission. In November 2008, the SEC barred him from working directly with the commission for a year. Full story »

I wasn’t going to comment on this one, but I can’t let it slide. On Monday’s Mike and Mike show this game was held up as an example. They were discussing instant replay and praising the umpires in the World Series. It took them barely over 1 minute to decide that A-Rod’s hit was a home run. That was an example of replay at its best. The Indiana / Iowa game was held up as the opposite. They could not believe some of the calls that were overturned and some that were not. Watching the game myself, for the first time I thought that it would’ve been better if replay had not been involved. Full story »

The bowl matchups are out. As I stated in my last post, the Big Ten needs a big showing in the bowl games in order to improve their standing nationally. Of course winning the lower bowls and then losing the BCS bowls will not help. Big Ten teams need to win bowl games while people are watching and ESPN is interested. 7 Big Ten teams are going bowling. So how do they match up? Let’s take a look. Full story »

Before I provide my commentary of the Big Ten’s performance in the most recent bowl season , I wanted to hit on two quick things that have happened recently that are at least tangentially related to the Penn State Football Universe Yes this is basically a week late, but what other sports are you going to read about today?...

I am taking a huge chance and in today’s environment I have chosen to changes jobs. I started work at my new job on Monday and today I am traveling to corporate headquarters. Most of my friends are concerned with me making this kind of a move at this time. I have heard things like “this could go very wrong” and “are you sure you want to do this”. Is it because the economy is bad and the last guy in is usually the first let go? Nope. It’s because I have joined a company based out of Birmingham Alabama that is full of SEC fans. Full story »

According to reports, it appears the Big Ten has officially offered Missouri, Nebraska, Rutgers and of course, longtime NCAA cash cow, Notre Dame. If all four agree to join, the Big Ten will have 15 members, which is one more than the SEC, ACC, and currently the Big 12. The Big Ten is clearly trying to add... Full story »

We get it. The Broncos are the underdog. They are the beloved David to the Goliaths of the sport. The anti-establishment and flag carriers to everything that is wrong with the Bowl Championship Series system. For that, they are endearing. But no way this club should get the same postseason consideration as a one-loss SEC, Big 10 or Pac 10 club. Their body of work doesn’t measure up. Full story »
